Canadian Solar offers six versions of its 132-cell TOPBiHiKu7 solar modules, with powers from 675W to 700W and efficiencies from 21.7% to 22.5%. The module manufacturer Canadian Solar, based in China, presents this week at the Intersolar Europe fair in Munich (Germany) its TOPCon 700 W bifacial solar modules. TOPBiHiKu7 panels feature 210mm cells and are available in six versions, with power ratings ranging from 675W to 700W, and power conversion efficiency from 21.7% to 22.5%. The open circuit voltage ranges from 46.9 V to 47.9 V and the short circuit current is 18.24 A to 18.49 A. They have an efficiency range of 26.1% to 27.0%, with a bifacial gain of 20%. “Canadian Solars TOPCon modules will increase the energy efficiency of PV systems and offer some of the most competitive Balance of System (BOS) and Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) cost savings for solar plants compared to PERC modules,” the company says. The double glass panels measure 2,384 x 1,303 x 33mm and weigh 37.8kg. They incorporate 2.0mm heat-strengthened glass, with an anti-reflective coating and another layer of 2.0mm glass on the back. The modules have IP68 junction boxes and anodized aluminum alloy frames. They can work with a system voltage of 1,500 V and at temperatures between -40 ºC and 85 ºC. The temperature coefficient is -0.29% per degree Celsius. Canadian Solar claims this ensures better performance in hot environments compared to leading products on the market. Photovoltaic panels have a 12-year product guarantee and a 30-year power guarantee. The annual linear degradation over 30 years is 0.4%, while the degradation during the first year is limited to 1.0%. In December 2022, Canadian Solar said it would begin mass production of TOPCon solar modules in the first quarter of 2023. |
